Sports comedy-drama ‘Big Shot’ renewed for season 2 at Disney+

John Stamos and his sports comedy-drama Big Shot have spilled their direction to a second season.

Disney+ has renewed the basketball series, which was made by David E. Kelley, Dean Lorey and Brad Garrett, after its first season launched in the spring.

Creation for the second season will begin in 2022, with Lorey returning as showrunner. The series is produced by ABC Signature.

Big Shot centers on Marvyn Korn (Stamos) after he is removed from his position as head coach for a NCAA b-ball group. He is allowed an opportunity at redemption with an coaching position at Westbrook, a tip top private high school for girls, and soon learns that the teenage players require empathy and vulnerability – unfamiliar ideas for the stoic Coach Korn. By learning to connect with his players and his daughter, Marvyn begins to develop into the individual he’s constantly wanted to be. The young ladies figure out how to view themselves all the more pretentiously, discovering their footing both on and off the court.

“We are thrilled to be returning with Big Shot,” said Kelley. “The show has touched so many hearts — John Stamos’ brilliance, especially, as Coach Marvyn Korn. We look forward to Season 2 and beyond.”

Stamos, whose Frank Sinatra Jr. kidnapping podcast Snatching Sinatra is right now airing, said that the series “represents everything Disney is to me — family, inclusion, and unity.”

He added: “But at its core, Big Shot is about guts and heart, and that is what Disney+ demonstrated by giving us a second season. I am sending lots of love to the critics and fans that got up on their feet and cheered for us from the sidelines. I’m so grateful to continue to play Coach Korn, a man who learns to let go of pre-conceived judgements and learns from an incredible group of women, helping him to evolve and grow. And yet, he still has so much more to learn…thankfully he’ll get that chance in Season 2.”
